HEALTHCARE
What most closely matches your view on healthcare: A) Healthcare for all should be guaranteed and funded by the government with no private healthcare option. (includes "universal healthcare," "medicare for all," etc.) B) Healthcare insurance funded by the government should be available for all who want it, along with private healthcare options. C) Medicaid and Medicare should remain available, but no other taxpayer-funded programs are necessary. D) Taxpayer funded health care should be abolished in all forms, and Medicaid and Medicare should be defunded.
C, to go back on the promises that have been made is believe is wrong. However, I believe that strict guidelines for Medicaid are needed where abuse is taking place or where the system is being "milked" and not effective for those who need it. Medicare also needs to be sured up and made sure it is there to protect the seniors that have paid into it for so long.

Under what circumstances (if any) should a government, school, or employer be allowed to require vaccinations?
None, this is another point on personal freedom and choices. Government should not force a view of what they believe is right. Our constitution is very clear about individual liberties and the freedom it affords to each and every citizen

IMMIGRATION
The U.S. should do more to physically secure the southern border.
Strongly Agree
The amount of illegal aliens crossing our boarders are fundamentally changing cities, districts, community security and woking opportunities in every part of our nation. A physical barrier is a deterrent for human smuggling, and illegal activities. Our constitution also provides for the security of our nation which is lacking due to not having more of a physical barrier on the southern boarder.
